"Dear Dr. Goodrich,
I am about to celebrate my first anniversary of still having four long legs...thanks to the surgery you did one year ago when I was a small kitten. My name is Isabella Long Legs-or sometimes called Isabella 4 Long Legs. (My favorite nickname is Isabella Chickie Baby when I get grilled KFC chicken breast as a treat.)
I still live with Auntie and 4 other foster care cats who were also doomed in one way or another. I also live with a 35 pound mixed lab who was going to be euthanized because she was so terrified of humans and other dogs. Sound like a zoo? Just an in-home shelter.
I can jump four feet horizontally with ease. I can also defend the cat house (see first picture) which I claim as mine. In fact, since I got spayed I think that I am an Amazon Queen even though I am only 5 pounds. My vet, Dr. Shipley, sometimes worries that I might have FIP. My Auntie thinks I have some sort of genetic syndrome: slim body, small head, even smaller lower jaw, weird claws on the index finger of both paws. I vote for what my Auntie thinks because it's more benign plus she made the right choice about my right hind leg. Thank you again.
Fur and Purrs,
Isabella Long Legs"
